Most of his time in Maccabi he plays as 5, although there were some minutes of him as 4 with Hendrix at the 5.
BTW today he scored 25 points with 100% from the field and from the line
[/quote]A question: how is Hendrix playing in Maccabi? You see him as a future top-5 centers in Europe? I live in Granada and I have interest to know if he plays well. I saw him and spoke with him and is a incredible person. And his game the last year... was amazing, I never seen a center so small that intimidated so very.
It definatly took him time but he had some great games like 14points at Barcelona where he kept us in the game for many minutes.
In the playoffs he was at his best with 8 points and 8 rebounds per game in 16 minutes per game. He is also a great blocker. I don't know about him becoming a top center in Europe but I can see him having a pretty big role in Maccabi for a few years if he'll get the credit.
Igor Rakocevic won his third "Alfonso Ford" award today... for the third time now.
The other two years he won it, 2007 and 2009, Panathinaikos won the Euroleague ... so let's hope tradition continues.

So apparently Sanchez, Real's president/GM/whatever predicted that Siena would beat PAO, and that Real will beat Maccabi <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rofl3.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

On top of that, he expects the Catalonians to be cheering on behalf of Real!!!!!! <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/crazy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Did you look at Real's decisions in the last seasons with the huge money they got? You needed to understand his sanity is questionable long before now.

He could have been more contained however, and been more quietly optimistic instead, anyway I'll await any 'fresh' statements from his side after they get vanquished in the semis <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

messina was too conflict person and molin is the same.
Pao is clear favourite. I'll bet them for their championship. But I feel a sympathy to Siena after their comeback at quarter finals, so I support Siena.
By the way I expect a surprise winning from Real against Maccabi. They will play in Spain so their advantage shouldn't be ignored.

Great minds think alike...
Things are more clear now about fans, it seems like we will see around 5.5-6k yellow fans in Barcelona. Not like the 8k in Madrid 2008 but still will give the players some sort of home-game feeling.
Everyone getting ready?
What's your plans for the Final Four? Where are you gonna watch it, with whom, what amounts of booze will you consume while watching it?
